October 28, 2015 04:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time

MIAMI--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT) today reported third quarter
net income of $49.6 million or $0.71 diluted earnings per share compared
to $55.7 million or $0.78 diluted earnings per share in the third
quarter of 2014. Excluding certain one-time acquisition-related
expenses, third quarter net income was $51.7 million or $0.74 diluted
earnings per share compared to $56.1 million or $0.79 diluted earnings
per share in the third quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP net income and diluted
earnings per share for the third quarter, excluding share-based
compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and certain
one-time acquisition-related expenses were $60.1 million and $0.86,
respectively, compared to $64.6 million and $0.91 in 2014.

“We posted strong cash flow from operations this quarter, bringing our
year-to-date total to more than $325 million”

“We were pleased with our results this quarter as we experienced strong
seasonality in our aviation business as well as a rebound in both our
marine and land segments’ profitability,” stated Michael J. Kasbar,
chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation.
“Our core businesses remain solid and we continue to focus on our
long-term strategy to drive growth and deliver value to our customers,
suppliers and shareholders.”

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $106.8 million,
an increase of $10.6 million or 11% year-over-year. The company’s marine
segment generated gross profit of $48.6 million, a decrease of $0.8
million or 2% year-over-year. The company’s land segment posted gross
profit of $71.3 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 3%
year-over-year.

“We posted strong cash flow from operations this quarter, bringing our
year-to-date total to more than $325 million,” said Ira M. Birns,
executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our effective
balance sheet management and related solid cash flow provided us with
the opportunity to both deploy capital toward our strategic initiatives
and return approximately $40 million to shareholders through stock
repurchases this quarter.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with
share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, expenses related to
the acquisitions, the termination of an employment agreement and the
executive non-renewal charge primarily because we do not believe they
are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the
exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful
given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair
value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the
operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of
our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization
of acquired intangible assets, the expenses related to the acquisitions,
the termination of an employment agreement and the executive non-renewal
charge are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of
our core operating results and comparing them period over period. In
accordance with the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting
for business combinations, acquired deferred revenue is often recorded
on the opening balance sheet at an amount that is lower than the
historical carrying value. Although this acquisition accounting
requirement has no impact on our business or cash flows, it adversely
impacts our reported GAAP revenue in the reporting periods following an
acquisition. We believe that the exclusion of the deferred revenue
purchase accounting adjustment is useful to investors as an additional
means to reflect trends of our business and provides investors with
financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and
future results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when
considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in
accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in
evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to
provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP
results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from,
or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share may not be comparable to the
presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP diluted
earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income
attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the
sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock
units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture
and vested RSUs outstanding during the period and the number of
additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if
our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
